Awww... people still visit this blog!  I'm a crappy blogger, and I think I say that every entry I make.

Anyway, Momma Lori has a new job.  I have a lot more to say about that, but
a) it really doesn't matter, especially on this blog, and
b) it really could get me in some pretty big trouble if the right (or wrong) set of eyes got a peek.

ANYWAY, again.

Madelyn has her first toof!  The second one has been looking like it's going to make an appearance for about a week now.  But the first one keeps moving up and up and up... and it's so weird to see her smile with her lone tooth.

She's not crawling just yet, but almost.  I'm sure she'll be on the move by the next blog entry.  In fact, I think she'll probably be writing her full name by the next blog entry.  Maybe even in cursive.

Currently, the words are "Mamamama" and "babababa" and "plllbbbhhttt" which is raspberry-speak, courtesy of Aunt Sara.  Sometimes, she'll say "Dadadada" but not too often.  Most mornings, we know she's awake when we hear her happily babbling in her room.

It's so hard to believe that she'll be a year, sooner rather than later.  I'm already coming up with some super duper ideas for her birthday party.  I know I'll want to do some sort of Americanized version of "Dol" which is a Korean thing.  Google it.  And I want to hire a professional photographer for her birthday party, for two reasons:
1) We'll have some nice "real" pictures of Madelyn with all sorts of important people in her life, and
2) Mommy will actually be in at least a few of the pictures!  It'll look like Mommy was there too.  Neat.

I really hope Madelyn isn't nearly as socially awkward as I am, and not nearly as everything else awkward like her daddy.
